Does anyone have one?, where can I get one? The 2 pounders
They'd work better for my rubberbelt.

No, but I got a crap load of lead dude...and a melter thingy and some molds for big torpedo fishing weights...if you find a mold for dive weights and I can get somebody to help me lift the buckets into my truck I will give it to you next time we dive together if you melt me some!!
 :smt006
Sincerely,

Jim

Amadeo & I poured lead for several hours once... & felt so dumb after that we vowed never to pour lead again.   :smt005

Y'all should get a NCKA dive weight mold.   :smt003

Andy, why you like the bullet weights? I'm using 9x2lb of it and I want to try those belt buckle type. The bullet weights keep sliding around and I dive lop-sided. :smt003  Wanna swap?

yea , im gonna make my own belt , that one belt i have is actually hella good , dont really know why i wanted the other style...just a gear junkie i guess. i was worried about the blet sagging but in the water it sits fine , in fact it didnt move at all the entire dive.

Breathing lead fumes= NOT GOOD!!  If you melt and  pour your own - be sure you are upwind of the process and do it outdoors.

Don't know anyone with a mold.   :smt009
Nate (Spinal Tap) has one that's in my garage now, but that thing has a pretty serious learning curve on it.  It's a special style that for general use... probably isn't worth the aggravation.


Tons of em online, here are a couple matches...

http://cgi.ebay.com/SCUBA-DIVERS-2-pound-bullet-type-weight-mould-mold-/110652900478
http://cgi.ebay.com/SCUBA-FREEDIVER-2-5-pound-WEDGE-weight-mould-mold-/110653258424

Considering how much lead costs right now in dive stores... that purchase price would be made up in no time at all!

Nate's one is for the pinch-weights... 3-part slot that needs to be released in a specific order & angle.
Believe me... it's just not worth the aggravation.   :smt011

I rather pay for a new mold than use the one in the garage... :D

How about humoring me and bringing it to red robin, if I can't get it to work I'll buy #3 on your list there and we can all go dumb pouring lead.
